Key Takeaways
AICardiology consultant and professor Dr. Khaled Al-Nemer has emphasized the importance of a thorough medical evaluation for heart patients who continue to experience symptoms after undergoing catheterization.
Writing on the X platform, Al-Nemer explained that while the main arteries may appear healthy during catheterization, issues such as narrowing, spasms, or impaired function in the heart’s small vessels can still cause pain even if the catheterization results are normal.
He added that persistent patient complaints should always prompt a serious medical assessment, and should not be hastily or automatically attributed to psychological factors.
